"Strange that so few come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light – to see its perfect success."
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
Obligations, paying them

Romans 13:7 Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Commentary: The Apostle Paul leaves little doubt as to how God would like us to honor our obligations. He says that they must be paid. Note that our obligations go beyond just monetary obligations.
